Eerie Whispers: Exploring Canada's Reluctant Relationship with Its Ghostly Lore
No Customer Reviews
Why do Canadians stifle their interest in the paranormal?
Canada's paranormal roots run deep -- from ghost stories told around flickering campfires to inexplicable encounters -- but our polite, risk-averse nation buries these experiences and this history under layers of unease. We fear stigma, career fallout, the unknown itself, and our cultural discomfort with death only deepens the feeling, pushing our ghostly heritage further into the shadows only to come out during the Halloween season.
Delving into tales of Canada's haunted history, the diverse folklore of its immigrant communities, and the Traditional Stories of Indigenous Peoples, Eerie Whispers asks why Canadians, unlike Americans and the British, are reluctant to embrace this part of our culture. Then, it encourages us to find the bold artistic energy necessary to amplify the country's supernatural voice.
